Mid-Spring Slump
Seen by OSC For
Cattle, Hog Prices
Cattle and hog prices appear
headed for a mid-spring slump
getting off to an excellent start
in 1958, reports W Y Fowler, Ore
gon State college livestock mark
eting specialist.
LIveweight prices for choice
cattle that recently reached $29
a hundredweight highest price
since November 1952 are like
ly to drop $3 In April and May
with some piling up of market
ings. Fowler says cattle market
ed in the next three months may
also weigh heavier than usual.
The specialist looks for prices
to recover slightly this summer
hut tint hark to nresent high
levels. Slaughter cattle prices
next fall will be tied closely to
pork supplies, that are likely to
be heavy, and to general busi
ness conditions.
Fowler says 1958 looks like a
record year for cattle feeding.
Coupled with this is the prospect
of considerable beef from for
eign countries arriving on West
Coast markets soon.
With large beef supplies tend
ing to lower prices, most profits
in cattle feeding will have to
come from weight gains rather
than any price differential be
tween feeder and slaughter grad
es, the specialist explains.
Meanwhile, the present build
up in tattle numbers appears
headed for a cutback with few
er beef cows and heifers on U S
farms now than a year ago. Fow
ler believes the down-trend is
likely to continue for a year or
two, level out, and start up by
1960 or 1961.
Hog prices probably have hit
a high, the specialist reports,
while pork prices may hold up
better than beef this spring, larg
er marketings, heavier animals
and lower prices are predicted
for next fall. This Is a result of
a large spring pig crop through
out the nation and plentiful feed
supplies.
